Angry 782 not charging battery
I have a IH built 782 that has blown engine and a wiring harness that needed replacing. I purchased a CCC made 782 that had a good Kohler Mag 18 engine and a good wiring harness. I removed the blown engine and wiring harness from the IH built 782 and replaced with the Mag 18 engine and wiring harness from the CCC 782. I also removed the relay and moved it to the IH 782. The ignition switch does not work when you go to engine start position. (Is the switch different on IH 782 compared to the CCC 782). I installed a push button start button with cables running to the post on the starter solenoid. This works to start the 782. Everything else seems to works and amp gage shows it is charging but for some reason the battery (which is new) does not seem to be charging as it should. After a few times using the tractor mower I notice the 782 is harder to start and finally I have to but battery charger to bring battery back to full charge. When battery is fully charged it spins the engine really well, but after repeated use the battery gets weaker and weaker. Don't know if I might have a defective battery or I missed something when I made the switch. Any help is very much appreciated. Thanks. Larry

The 782 NEVER came with a Kohler M-18 in it from the Factory, THUS, there is NO correct wiring harness for this application.

The question is.......what wiring do you have and is it wired correctly..???

Default Wiring harness
I think the wiring harness is 725-3082. At least the wiring harness had the relay like the one shown on this diagram.

The only relay on a 782 was the "Reverse Relay".

Roland,

http://www.partstree.com/parts/?lc=c...&dn=0028600018

This website shows a wiring harness like the one that I have. The relay I was talking is item #7 on the drawing. Thanks. Larry

Ok...here are the problems:

(A) The 782 never came from the factory with a Kohler M-18 in it.
(B) There are no factory diagrams for a 782 w/M-18 in it.
(C) There are two different wiring diagrams for the 782 ( with a KT-17) depending upon serial number range.

For what I have read, I have NO clue what you got.

A M-18 can be installed into 782 with a couple of modifications, but since we don't know what you have, it is difficult to answer your question.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
